DJ Winston

June 30, 2009 – 2:09 pm

Everyone knows that Winston Churchill was one of the greatest Prime Ministers that Britain ever had. Many people also know he was an alcoholic. Some people know he was a wit. And a few know he was a painter of moderate talents.
But who knew he was a rapper?
Behold the wonder which is DJ Winston, as [...]

Quiz: how independent are you?

June 26, 2009 – 5:59 pm

As IF I need a quiz to tell me this:

Your Independence Level: Very High

You do things your own way. Even if everyone else thinks you’re wrong.
You cherish your freedom, and you resent rules.
No one knows what’s right for you as much as you do.
You can take care of yourself… and you do a mighty fine [...]

Michael Jackson Stopped, Got Enough

June 25, 2009 – 3:39 pm

Michael Jackson, the self-crowned King of Pop, is dead at the age of 50. Born an adorable, talented black boy, he died (apparently of heart failure, insert own bitter joke here) a bizarre creature somewhere between the aliens from Communion and Zombie Janice Dickinson, with a soupcon of pederasty for (as the kids say) flava. [...]

Banksy in Bristol

June 12, 2009 – 4:14 am

Banksy may or may not be a man; he may or may not be a collective; but he definitely IS my dream man (when you’re a communist, it doesn’t count as an orgy, it counts as “sharing”). Hey, it’s my dream, I can have what I want in it.
Not only did he give me my [...]

The Truth About Pirates

June 10, 2009 – 2:19 am

Sadly, the truth is, none of them look like Johnny Depp; they actually look exactly like that guy that asked you for change the other day.

Oh, and it gets worse:

Total Eclipse of the Original

June 5, 2009 – 4:23 pm

I don’t know what it is about this song, but it seems to inspire the greatest living sardonicists to greater achievements in sheer over-the-topitude than have ever been seen this side of Kadath Through The Looking-Glass.
First there was Kiki and Herb’s heartrending story of transgendered love gone awry and tragic loss.
Now, there is dascottjr’s Literal [...]

Creativity is hard

June 5, 2009 – 9:45 am

and, as we’ve mentioned before, underappreciated. Feel his pain: feel the unassuageable pain of the mighty T Rex:

Bear Attack Defense Strategy #1

I wonder what that song would be? ANYTHING other than “Bare Necessities,” obviously.

The Booty Call of Cthulhu

June 2, 2009 – 11:52 pm

Carrying on from our infamous Cthulhu Porn post (warning: CTHULHU GOATSE, THE ULTIMATE EVIL), we present the following. In case you read The Dunwich Horror, extrapolated (as is your wont) from the circumstances surrounding the conception of Wilbur Whatley, and wondered what kind of woman would do the dirty with Mister Big Himself, Cthulhu.
Behold:

It explains [...]

Shebeen Club June 15: Independent Publishing: Fab or Folly?

June 2, 2009 – 1:38 pm

Since from day to day it looks like I will/won’t be in town for the Shebeen Club meeting on June the 15th, I’ve asked Ian Alexander Martin to take over in my stead. Naturally, should I be in town on the evening in question, I’ll expect him to give up the scepter of leadership but [...]
